Solid Roller Cam Question

Those of you who are using a solid roller cam or are a past user of a solid roller cam (non racing application)-what is the frequency of needing to adjust the lash for proper operation and keeping valve train noise to an acceptable level? I'm still looking at an engine upgrade sometime next yr and might consider using a solid roller as part of the package if I don't have to constantly adjust the lash. (Yea, I know I'm a wuss but my wife still complains that I spend too time in the garage as it is twak.gif I don't need to spend more time there!!) bonk.gifshifty.gif

The more radical the roller, the more often you will have to adjust lash. I run one in my Camaro and check lash about every 2500 miles. It is a comp 280AR (280/280 236@.050 .560 gross lift .020/.021 lash) Originally checked it about 500 then 1000 just to get a feel for how it changed. A stud girdle helps to hold lash for a longer duration than just the set screws on the posi locks.
